The PGA Tour and DP World Tour are adding a new partner: the Japan Tour.
As part of the agreement, the top three players on the Japan Tour’s Order of Merit, beginning next year, will receive DP World Tour membership. Top Japan Tour earners will also secure access to DP World Tour Q-School.
The move coincides with the ISPS Handa Championship moving from Spain to Japan in April and is designed to enhance the formal pathways between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and other international tours. Earlier this year, it was announced that the top 10 players in the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai would earn PGA Tour cards for the following season.
